Nature


For the last 4 weeks of term we will be looking at nature, in particular at habitats and how creatures adapt to the place they live in. We started today by watching some of the live webcams on BBC Springwatch. There are regular updates and various different webcams to watch. It is fascinating to watch the parent birds feed their young - how hard they work! Here is a link to the live webcams.

It's a shame the programme is finished as we really enjoyed the live webcams and the drama of the floods. There were some sad moments but lots of good stories too. I think our favourite was the sandpiper who ran after the train every time it passed the nest but eventually hatched our four very cute chicks! We hope they all survive and will miss watching them. The barn owls were a hoot! We enjoyed the boxing mammals and squirrels. Thank goodness the osprey team saved the chick that was in trouble and we do hope the peregrine falcon chicks survive their tumbles from the church tower in Bath!
